Just then, uncle Thomson came from the kitchen with biscuits and juices. ////
“Hey there my dear lovely ladies. Here we go!!. Delicious home made juice made by this handsome guy for these lovely ladies “, uncle Thomson said excitedly and bowed dramatically like the men would do back in the olden days.
I just laughed at his funny gesture while Aunt Tara snorted and rolled her eyes at him.
“You???.... And handsome???…have you ever heard of a mirror??. You old man… . “, aunt Tara teased her mate.
“don’t crack such pathetic jokes. I would lose hope and would stop believing in jokes “, Aunt Tara said making uncle Thomson to frown unhappily.
“Hmm…. You don’t know. How many young girls were still admiring this piece of art”, uncle Thomson flaunted so proudly, clearly forgetting to whom he was talking to.
**** his over possessive and over scary mate… .. My dear moon goddess!!.
“Wait a minute… . What did I just hear Tommy?. Can you repeat it again? “, Aunt Tara asked while keeping her hands on her hips, clearly daring him to say those words again.
But uncle Thomson knows clearly that once he repeated those words then he would be a dead meat.
So tactically, uncle Thomson changed and chose his words correctly.
“I said you are beautiful. My dear young and gorgeous mate”, uncle Thomson said with a sheepish smile, bringing a small smile on my face too.
“That’s what I thought”, aunt Tara said and flipped her hair dramatically.
Just then the person I didn’t expected to see came into the living room.
It’s none other than Perry Pervin, aunt Tara’s daughter and my ex best friend.
“when did you guys started to let beggars into our home?. And more than that, you guys were treating her as your precious guest. Disgusting “, Perry said with a annoying face expression, making the little smile, I had on my face to disappear the next second.
The words Perry said about me hit me really hard, as I really considered her as my friend till now. I thought all these times that she used such harsh and taunting words to hurt me, just because we were in the presence of my elder sister and her group of minions. I thought that Perry did all those things just so she didn’t want to left out by their group and become a target of their taunts and mocking. But now I realized that she didn’t fake those hurtful words, instead she really did mean those words and her hatred towards me was as real as it can be.
The moment her daughter finished her last words, Aunt Tara bellowed in anger making the whole house to shook in her anger.
“PERRY PERVIN!!!!!!. Shut your damn mouth. If you didn’t get your face out of my sight in the next two seconds, you will feel sorry for yourself “, Aunt Tara said while gritting her teeth fiercely.
“What!!???. Are you scolding me for that worthless b***h, mom!!!!??? “, Perry asked back in a disbelieving tone, as Aunt Tara was not the one to lose her temper that easily on someone.
“PERRY THOMSON PERVIN!!!!!. SHUT YOUR GOOD FOR NOTHING MOUTH, BEFORE I BREAK YOUR LEGS AND GIVE IT IN YOUR HANDS. AND ONE MORE THING. DON’T YOU DARE DISRESPECT MY GUEST, ESPECIALLY IN MY PRESENCE. NOW, GET LOST!!!!”, Aunt Tara roared making everyone present in the living room to shrink due to her sudden out burst.
Perry left the living room in anger and shut her room door so loudly that I was afraid that the door would have been broken if she used a little more strength in closing it.
“Don’t take that brat's words seriously and let it influence your mood, my sweet heart. She forgot all the manners I had taught her, all because of this stupid man’s pampering “, Aunt Tara said and glared at uncle Thomson who had a expression that looked like he was greatly wronged.
“hey… .. It’s unfair. Don’t blame me for your daughter's behavior. She got her temper from you”, uncle Thomson retorted and had the most innocent look on his face, making me to smile at his expression.
“Whatever. Now shoo…. Leave us alone…off you go”, Aunt Tara waved her hand dismissingly at her mate.
“heartless woman….okay bye sweet heart…..good night”, uncle Thomson said to his mate and turned his attention on me and said his goodbye before going away from the living room.
After we were left alone, Aunt Tara disappeared into the kitchen and came out with a plate that was filled with food to the brim.
“today, my dear Rory came to see me. So I am going to feed you with my own hands”, saying this Aunt Tara fed me the delicious food she cooked by herself.
I too ate more than I would usually eat on her insistence, as I know that this will be the last time I get to eat the food cooked by her and more importantly, this might be the last time I could eat from her hands. I will miss her motherly love with which she would always embrace me with.
After I ate, she made me sit and spoke for a few minutes telling about her teenage years and the crazy things she did with my mother Lily.
I too listened eagerly as it will be my most cherished memory with the two women I loved the most. One was my mom Lily and the other was Aunt Tara, the mother figure, who was my second mom all these years.
In the middle of our conversation, Aunt Tara caressed the pendant of the necklace she gave me on my 18th birthday and she patted me head often too.
I was too immersed in the warm love she was showering on me that I didn’t mind her warm actions at all and enjoyed it to my heart’s content.
When it was time, I hugged her tightly wanting to itch this moment deep into my heart as I want this moment to be my ever lasting memory.
Not wanting to get caught by Aunt Tara, as my tears again started flowing down my cheeks, I quickly swallowed down my sadness and bid farewell to Aunt Tara.
As soon as the door of her house was closed, I quickened my pace and started closing the gap between the pack house and me, by half running and half speed walking.
I dashed towards the attic as quickly and as quietly as possible as not to alert or seem suspicious to others.
Flashback ends.
I came out of the thoughts that were running in my mind due to the noise I heard near me.

happy reading
well....when i encounter such a scene of ppl mocking others, I wish to break their teeth too...instead of that, I give them a nose cut. I use words to mock them back, giving a taste of their own bitter medicine.,..
